Uh, the first one. It’s all downhill after that. It’s the only one he’s ever pulled off. Look at the goals for the master plan part 2 and you’ll see that they haven’t managed to do a single one, but Elon still went ahead a published a part 3. Why actually meet goals when you can just pretend you’ve met them by posting new ones, I guess.
So much porn, regular porn, amateur porn, furry porn. I have 18+ turned off and some of it still slips through sometimes.
I read both articles you have linked to, I don’t think either of them contradict what I said. Both articles point out that Tesla dominate automation related accidents, which makes sense because Tesla has a far greater number of automation equipped cars on the road than other manufacturers. Furthermore they point out that those accidents have risen dramatically over the past few years. If you look at the graph on the WaPo article you linked to you’ll see it’s in agreement with what I said since Tesla switched to vision based systems in mid 2021.
Yes, because rising road fatalities and having lower than average road fatalities are not mutually exclusive. Radar-era autopilot was incredibly safe, so even though Elon made the stupid decision to make it vision-based which has caused fatalities to go up, they’re still below average. You can check NHTSA’s ratings just type in Tesla in the search bar and you’ll see that they’ve gotten a 5 star rating on every car in every category.
Of course if you look at Tesla’s own data they claim to the orders of magnitude safer, which I’m sure is only possible with some creative data manipulation, but it’s silly to claim that Tesla’s are less safe than average.
Well, Tesla is publicly traded, makes money, and clearly their cars work because they have lower than average road fatalities. With the disparity of how badly Twitter’s being run vs Tesla I wonder how long it’s been since Elon’s actually been in charge of anything other than being a spokesperson for Tesla.
Yes, but I’ve forgotten it now
It’s another site in fediverse. It’s a link aggregator like Lemmy is. I’m replying to your comment from kbin :)
I think that’s true for some niche topics, but other ones are better served by having dedicated communities from the start.
When I joined I made 2 magazines. One of them was about collecting Nintendo games and I quickly realized that I would have better discussions if I just joined the Nintendo magazine. I’ve basically abandoned it. The other I made, m/Otomegames I think is needed. We could post in the general gaming magazines, but there’s a whole bunch conventions and inside jokes that people who don’t play otome games wouldn’t understand.
Now for my shameless plug: do you like otome games? Do you not know what otome games are, but romance/adventure games made for women sounds intriguing? Come join us <- direct link. “@Otomegames @kbin.social” <- remove the space for federated peeps
Forgot to switch to your alt?
I see that difference as a rather significant one.
Of course not, it all comes at great cost to the planet. We obviously disagree on the necessity of a phone for modern society. In my frame of thinking where it is a necessity, I write from the point of view that obviously keeping your phone longer is better. It doesn’t even warrant mentioning. So my motivation for making this list was to encourage people to consider keeping their phones one year longer. To do that I have to list every single interval so that I can reach the people who most need the convincing: those who upgrade constantly.
Is being smug bad? It’s a feeling I enjoy so I listed it as a genuine benefit.
I’ve heard a few people say this and honestly I’m still confused. I got my iPhone XR’s battery replaced by apple themselves last year. I think it cost 80USD, which is too much, and EU law will be a welcome change. Hοwever, it’s still saves money even if it delays your new phone purchase by only one year.
Whenever I meet someone who brags about intentionally doing something bad for the environment anti-green, I look at them with disgust. I had a co-worker tell me that she got around the emissions tests for her pickup by buying one of those devices online, and she had the audacity to look at me like she expected me to be impressed.
They do? That sucks. I’ve only had iPhones and have gotten the battery replaced in both of them. It’s increased the lifespan of my phones by a couple of years, but it doesn’t double it. I usually start to sick of my hardware after about 5 years.
I don’t really agree with this article. The argument seems to rest on the idea that a representative democracy is a compromise on direct democracy. In reality, even though I have the ability to meaningfully participate in every election a direct democracy would entail, I have no desire to because I have other things I would rather spend my time doing.
Similarly, even if I have the ability to run my own instance (admittedly I do not, but many of us early adopters do), I do not want to. I’m happy to let other people do it as long as those people seem like broadly agree with my morals. I don’t need an close relationship, just a trustful one. This digital forum inherently has even better benefits than real life; if I realize I dislike my current instance, I have the option to move to another instance or create my own. In real life I can only move to another district or hope to vote out my current rep.
I upvote my own posts too, I do try to avoid boosting my own posts. We’re from kbin though, I think on Lemmy self-upvotes are automatic.
It’s nice here. :)
Let’s be real it probably will create an uneven playing field just like amazon does. At first it will seem great and then when they have enough data to make sure they can do it without pissing off their users, they’ll start squeezing the authors.
I haven’t notice more problems with kbin to Lemmy federation than with kbin to kbin federation. They both seem to be having problems. I also don’t think the hd-dvd and blue-ray comparison is an apt analogy. Maybe it’s more like xbox vs playstation. They’re platforms rather than technologies (Lemmy and kbin both use the same activity pub technology) and while there are exclusives to each system there’s so much overlap that it hardly matters which one you buy from a content point of view
Learning to drive. I’ve met a few people who didn’t learn to drive until their late 20’s or 30’s and there always seems to be some awkwardness to their driving. On the opposite side, learning to drive at 16 seems to encourage reckless habits to form, people I’ve known who waited until 18 have much better driving habits on average.
